Hi Micky - I hope I can be of some assistance - I have tried a few ways of aging wood for tikis - you can try using a gas torch - which you should be able to grab from your local hardware - they are pretty cheap or another method I have used is to spray the wood black with a matt spray paint and then lightly sand it off - the black stays in the crevices and then stain over the top - you achieve an old look.

If you check out my thread you will see some of my latests pieces in the progress shots and they have been done this way.
Hope this helps you out - good carving.
